Recommended tour operator: Martin Randall Travel
Martin Randall Travel says
We are an award-winning cultural tour operator, specialising in all-inclusive small-group tours and classical music festivals. Our tours – 220 itineraries in 35 countries throughout Europe, the Middle East and the USA – are imaginative and meticulously planned, often with private visits to places not normally open to the public.
In our eagerness to seek out cultural riches wherever they may lie in the world, it is easy to overlook the wealth of natural beauty piled up on our own doorstep. That’s why 2011/2012 sees our largest ever choice of small-group tours in Britain.
If churches and cathedrals loom large in your interests then we have a collection to view in our West Country Churches tour, or if you’re more at home with country houses then we have three tours devoted to the Great Houses of England.
We also have a series of walking tours; whether along traditional pilgrimage routes or lesser-known country trails, they combine intellectual and aesthetic nourishment, while the fine restaurants and hotels en route ensure physical reserves are constantly topped up too. Good for the spirit, good for the body and good for the mind: how’s that for an Aristotelian dialectic?
As with all our holidays, you will be led, informed and entertained by renowned experts on the subject.
New tours for 2012 include Turner & The Sea, Charles Dickens and Mediaeval Middle England.

It’s easy to overlook the sheer beauty on our own doorstep. Britain's rich artistic, architectural and musical heritage lends itself perfectly to the style of holiday offered by Martin Randall Travel: small groups of likeminded people led by expert guides. You could tour the seascapes that inspired Turner, visit grand country houses or walk Hadrian's Wall.
